.stl file is downloadable through the shapeways pages
(ill do it that way, so with updates, and modifications for other mounts etc, the latest file is available with the model. saves trying to keep track of version updates in a thread!)

cost on shapeways is only about €45
(and thats including my large X-member mount)

isolation is already built into my frame, so not something i had to consider for my version.

theres so many ways to mount one of these suckers, that with the second 'hanging' mount that i just posted, i figured id get the basic shape there, and being open source, people can edit it as they please to suit whatever

if folks want an isolated, 'all in one' generic gimbal mount, i could spin that up pretty quickly and throw it into up for opinion

gp2 is much heavier than version 1 from memory. i dont imagine itd be interchangeable. gimbals need to be setup relatively 'camera specific'

So, instead of making them fit specific cameras (and motors) why not do what many others are doing and put in slots for mounting so things can be moved around a bit for perfect CoG - especially as the balance on your first one is as yet untested?

the gimble I got, I raise the camera plate to get that balance point you have to get the 3 axis balanced as close as possable or you will see in programing graph that the motors are working to keep it level

size, simplicity, and generally wide spread use of gopros as an onboard camera makes it an easy choice

that, and i designed mine 'for me' but the files are there for anyone to take, and modify to use as they like... so go nuts and make it as adjustable as you desire.

and the perfect balance is one revision away. not particularly difficult design task

Well, I don't have access to a 3D printer. Nearly bought one just last week, but probably wouldn't make full enough use of it. Plus, the 3 different versions of GoPro 3 (Black, White, Silver) all weigh different amounts and not everyone can splash out on a Black, but as you say, not an issue for you.

I suspect you'll need more than one revision though, as each one will be a guess as you try and zero in on the correct balance, under- and over-shooting it by less each time, so actually an adjustable mounting method would help you.
